Critiques of the RPG genre

[GOE]

I'm looking for some genre critics of the '90s. There have been game designers strongly opposed to both FPS and RPG genre - advocates of exclusive markets, redefining principles, etc - and their interviews/devblogs are all lost. I'm looking to see if anyone has any references; physical or archived.

None of the current textbooks dig into foundational oppositions so to track anything off of them. The last time I saw any interviews regarding genre criticism it was a scanned version of an old magazine online. (unfortunately I can't remember the interviewee's name. irrc he was over 60 at the time.)
I also made a request on the related Wikipedia page (Role-Playing video game). Please feel free to contribute.

Suggestions have been made that the following magazines might've had such interviews but it remains to be seen: Edge, The Games Machine and Computer and Video Games.
In case you have any sources, please share in this thread.

Are you looking for "professional" articles on the genre or just random opinions? I would be happy to gripe about RPG's if you need a random but I don't know of any articles that discuss the subject

I'm looking for references to old devblogs/interviews in which game designers have discussed against the principles of the RPG genre. I've recently lost a collection of interviews I had preserved years ago, most of which is nowhere to be found online anymore (including web archiving services).
Your thoughts regarding structure are also welcome. Please create a new thread to share them, if you deem necessary.
